I have been a fan of this steak place since it was still $9.99 in Waikiki next to Food Pantry. It’s been, what, 15 years now, and I still eat here. The Ala Moana location is nice, inside Foodland. I can get my poke at Foodland and then come here to eat my steak plate. Just as good as I remember from 15 years ago. The teriyaki sauce here is phenomenal—it’s my favorite teriyaki sauce of all time. The horseradish sauce is also really good. I didn’t really care for the barbecue sauce, so I don’t think I’ll get that again. Maybe I’ll double the teriyaki sauce next time. Love this place.

BBQ chicken was decent. However, shrimp was not peeled but was fried. Would not recommend to a friend.

I used to love this hi-steaks but now the steaks are terribly grissely, the shrimp has gotten smaller and the precious time I ordered it was mushy to the point I couldn't peel the shell off. But tonight? Tonight was the last straw. As I was working my way through my plat (steak-only this time) I bit into some type of extremely gross chemical/floral/soapy/cleaner taste in multiple areas of my rice. Idk if someone's utensils had cleaner on it or they sprayed the counter/grill with cleaner with my plate open around it but either way I had to spit out multiple bites of food (because I kept trying to eat bc I was HUNGRY and kept encountering it).
I've now also washed my mouth out multiple times and that weird taste is sticking, which I'm guessing is a result of it being a chemical.
This will officially be the last time I get hi steaks.

Pretty slow service, unclear instructions, and a warm beer. Steak was decent, but everything else was average at best.

Yummy steak and chicken plates we usually get the steak fried rice too. The line is usually pretty quick, sometimes if door dash has a deal we will order ahead to save time 😁

Steak poke bowl is quite good. Had it with the spinach and mushrooms and the spicy sauce.

I come to rhis foodland store all the time and once in awhile, I like to stop and get take outs from Hi-Steaks. I normally get the sirloin, but today I changed and got the keawe smoke meat. Well, it's not what I've expected. The smoke meat did not taste like it at all. It was greasy, tough and too much fat in the meat. I did not like thay at all. Shame
For some reason, this place always seems to be dirty inside. The tables, chairs and walls does not look clean, and I've seen homeless people hangout inside this eatery.

I normally debate on giving restaurant 2 and under stars but I need to put this out there to where it may help the restraint out. The food was really bland. I got the steak and garlic chicken with rice and kimchee Mac salad. The kimchee Mac salad tasted really bad like it wasn’t fresh kimchee at all. The steak was very bland and seemed like it was very cheap. It needs to be at a hot temperature to where it’s juicy not rubbery. The rice was cold and not fresh. The garlic chicken was just a garlic taste and very stale to the touch. It tasted like it had more breading than chicken itself and not at all fresh. I had this same plate a couple years ago and sadly to say it’s the same experience I had and was hoping the restaurant got better but sadly it was the same.

Good for takeout and eating. The steak and garlic shrimp are famous, but I personally found the garlic fried chicken to be delicious and similar to the fried chicken from a Japanese fried chicken restaurant.

Beers were reasonable, but the food is about as good as the Deli at Foodland Farms
